Interpretation:
The general properties of gases are to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
Gases do not have a definite volume or shape. They occupy the entire accessible space. As the binding forces are very weak, gaseous molecules are weak as well. The molecules of a gas are in continuous motion and have a high kinetic energy.

Explanation of Solution
The general properties of gases are discussed below.
Compressibility:
As the intermolecular spaces are high between gaseous molecules, the pressure exerted on them decreases the volume of the gas. This is known as the compressibility of gases. When the temperature decreases, the amount of energy becomes less, and hence, the mobility is diminished. Due to this, the volume of the gas decreases.
Expansibility:
When pressure is removed, the gas expands. When the temperature increases, energy is gained by the constituent particles. Due to this, they travel faster and away from each other. Thus, the volume of the gas increases.
Ability to diffuse:
The motion of the gaseous molecules is continuous and they move at a very high velocity. The intermolecular spaces are very high. When two gases are mixed, the gaseous particles can pass through the intermolecular spaces of the other. Due to this, both gases get completely mixed. Thus, the mixture of gases remains homogenous.
Low density:
The intermolecular spaces in gases are very high and its volume is very large as compared to its mass. Hence, they have low densities.
Exertion of pressure:
The gases exert pressure in all directions in a vessel.
The general properties of gases have been discussed above.

This quiz is open textbook / open notes - but you must work alone. You cannot use the internet or the solutions manual for the book. Scan in your work and record an explanation of your mechanism. You may record this any way that you like. One way would be to start an individual Zoom meeting, start recording, "share your screen" and then talk through the problem. This will be converted to an .mp4 file that you can upload into Canvas using the "record/upload media" feature. Pyridine, benzoic acid and benzene are dissolved in ethyl acetate. Design and provide a plan / flow chart for separating and isolating each of these components. Pyridine and benzene are liquids at room temperature. Benzoic acid is a solid. You have ethyl acetate, 2M NaOH, 2M HCI and anhydrous MgSO4 available, as well as all the glassware and equipment that you used in the organic lab this year.
